Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the use of Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate for reducing odors or as an auxiliary agent for reducing odors.
  • Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate to be used according to the invention may be present in any stereoisomeric form or may be present as any mixture of stereoisomers.
  • Reduction of odors is used in the present text to mean partial reduction or total reduction, i.e. elimination of odors, in particular unpleasant odors by a specific substance.
  • Unpleasant odors in the sense of the present invention are in particular odors of human sweat, human faecal or urine, kitchen odors, in particular odors of old fat, old fish or butyric acid, and smoke or similar type of odors.
  • a scenting or perfuming of a product in the narrower sense is to be distinguished from a neutralization or reduction of an unpleasant odor and can occur in addition to such a neutralization/reduction. Scenting or perfuming is understood to mean imparting an olfactory impression, i.e. an additional olfactory effect which may go beyond a complete or partial reduction of the unpleasant odor.
  • a fragrance is, in the broader sense, any substance that causes an olfactory impression or changes the olfactory perception of another substance due to an inherent odor.
  • a fragrance is a substance that produces an olfactory impression, in particular an olfactory impression in humans.
  • a fragrance mixture is a mixture comprising at least one, but in particular two or more fragrances in the narrower or broader sense.
  • the odor to be reduced according to the invention is preferably an unpleasant odor.
  • unpleasant odors affect people's well-being.
  • Such an unpleasant odor is preferably an odor of human exhalations and excretions, especially sweat, faeces and urine odors, i.e. in particular a human body odor, very particularly a human sweat odor (especially armpit sweat odor), or an odor of faeces or urine of animals, especially pets, or an odor of wet animal fur, especially wet fur of dogs or sheep, an odor of wet sheep's wool, or kitchen odors such as e.g. B.
  • such an unpleasant odor is toilet odor, especially human faeces and urine odors, odors of faeces or urine of animals, especially pets, kitchen odors, especially old fat, old fish or butyric acid, or smoke, especially (cold) tobacco smoke.
  • odors that are preferably to be reduced in the context of the use according to the invention are unpleasant odors of industrially produced raw materials that are used in cosmetic, body care, household or cleaning products.
  • an unpleasant odor can be an odor that occurs when using special cosmetic preparations such as e.g. hair coloring, hair shaping and depilatory products.
  • Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate to be used according to the invention is advantageously light accessible or producible, has a high effectiveness even at low concentrations, especially at concentrations at which Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate has no or at least only a barely perceptible odor, is largely or completely colorless, has a high stability in different mixtures or preparations and does not have any toxic and/or allergenic effects on humans.
  • Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate has the advantage that when used, in particular when used according to the invention, it can be combined with different fragrances and perfume oils or customary components of a perfume oil in order to perfume products with any desired fragrance. Consequently, a wide range of fragrance types can be offered to consumers by the present invention.
  • Perfume mixtures and perfumed products according to the invention containing Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate are described below.
  • Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate is renewable and bio-degradable, which is one of the most important things for the future fragrance industry.
  • Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate is not yet known as a fragrance compound; therefore, no precise odor description is already available.
  • Ethyl 4- oxopentanoate to be used according to the invention only has a very faint intrinsic odor.
  • the odor, preferably the unpleasant odor, to be reduced is thus primarily not masked by a specific intrinsic odor of Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate in question. It is true that the mechanisms of action of the odor neutralization/odor reduction taking place within the scope of the present invention have not yet been conclusively clarified.
  • Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate to be used according to the invention interacts with various receptors in the olfactory mucosa of the human nose, which presumably leads to an (olfactory) sensory illusion, so that the perceived olfactory impression is no longer associated with the original cause (an unpleasant smell).
  • the intrinsic odor of Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate to be used according to the invention is preferably so weak or of such low (odor) intensity that it can hardly be perceived (by humans). This (very weakly smelling) Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate is to be regarded as (perfume) auxiliaries for the purposes of the present invention.
  • Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate to be used according to the invention or corresponding mixtures to be used according to the invention are particularly suitable for reducing an odor, in particular an unpleasant odor (e.g. in corresponding odor neutralized or scented products), and / or as an adjuvant to reduce an (unpleasant) odor.
  • Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate also has the advantage that when it is used, in particular when it is used according to the invention, it can be combined with a wide variety of fragrances and perfume oils in order to perfume objects or products, in particular those with unpleasant odors, with any desired fragrance or to scent. [0021] Consequently, the present invention allows a wide range of fragrance types to be offered to consumers in combating unpleasant odors.
  • Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate has the following characteristics:
  • Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate has a molecular weight of 144.08 g/mol and a molecular formula of C7H12O3.
  • Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate has the following CAS-No.: 539-88-8. Furthermore, Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate is also known as Ethyl levulinate.
  • Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate is used together with one or more fragrances different from Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate for reducing odors or as an auxiliary agent for reducing odors.
  • this can result
  • the unpleasant odor is preferably selected from the group consisting of sweat, in particular human sweat, toilet odor, human faecal or urine odor, odors from faecal or urine from animals, kitchen odors, in particular odors of old fat, old fish or butyric acid, and smoke odor, in particular of cold smoke odor.
  • Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate is used together with at least one fragrance different from Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate for reducing odors.
  • the at least one fragrance different from Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate is preferably selected from the group consisting of Alpha-hexyl cinnamon aldehyde, 2- phenoxyethylisobutyrate, dihydromyrcenol, methyl-dihydrojasmonate, 4,6,6,7,8,8,- hexamethyl-1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydrocyclopenta[g]benzopyran, tetrahydrolinalool, benzyl acetate, 2-methyl-3-(4-tert.-butyl-phenyl)propanal, cinnamon alcohol, 1 -phenyl acetate, octahydro-2,3,8,8,-tetramethyl-2-acetophenone, 2-acetyl-1,2,3,4,6,7,8- octahydro-2,3,8,8-tetramethyl naphthalene, 4-tert.-butylcyclohexyl-acetate,

  • Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate can be used in a variety of products; it can be used as a single fragrance, but it can be combined particularly advantageously with other fragrances in different proportions to form fragrance mixtures, and novel and original perfume compositions can also be created. Accordingly, one aspect of the invention also relates to a fragrance mixture and possibly further constituents (solvents or the like), which contains Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate.
  • the fragrance composition according to the invention comprises or consists of Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate and one or more, preferably two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or more fragrances different from Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate.
  • the fragrance composition represents a perfume oil.
  • Perfume oils usually comprise or consist of synthetic or natural (preferably) tasteless and odorless carrier oils which contain fragrances or fragrances (e.g. a specific plant) as artificial or natural substances in highly concentrated form (and optionally perfumery solvents and I or auxiliaries). Perfume oils are therefore often used for fragrance applications.
  • Perfume oils for example, are used to make perfumes by mixing them in (e.g. alcoholic) solutions which "entrain" the scents or fragrances when they evaporate and thus impart the sensory impression of a specific smell to the olfactory organ of the user, i.e. the human being.
  • Such mixtures can be, for example, a perfume, eau de perfume or eau de toilette.
  • Perfume oils are also used to produce a specific scent in living spaces, such as when used in fragrance lamps, atomizers or diffusers.
  • perfume oils can also be used in countless other articles or products.
  • the fragrance composition according to the invention comprises or consists of Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate and two or more fragrances different from Ethyl 4- oxopentanoate.

  • the examiners are trained before the test series on the recognition of unpleasant odors and the reduction of unpleasant odors.
  • Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate to be used according to the invention has only a very slight inherent odor. Consequently, Ethyl 4- oxopentanoate can be used in any fragrance directions.
  • Example 1 Characteristics of ethyl 4-oxopentanoate
  • Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate can be produced from 4-Oxopentanoic acid/Levulinic acid by one of the procedures known in the literature.
  • Example 2.1 Selection and training of examiners
  • DPG odorless solvent
  • a bad smell in the context of the present text is an unpleasant odor in the sense of the definition mentioned above.
  • Test "A” multiple smelling strips (thin cardboard strips of an odorless paper) are dipped into a mixture comprising one or more malodors, i.e. comprising one or more substances, which cause an unpleasant odor impression (in humans).
  • DPG odorless
  • B. Selection Criterion 2 Examiners must be able to distinguish between different intensities or concentrations of bad smells or the corresponding substances mediating these odor impressions. For this purpose, samples of different concentrations of the respective bad smells are placed in a defined airspace. These samples are different malodor standard mixtures (S), which each contain a different concentration of a substance (M) with an unpleasant odor. Accordingly, these mixtures have different intensities of the respective bad smell and thus different intensive malodorous impressions. These samples are sorted by the examiner according to intensity (odor strength). The sequence of concentrations must be properly recognized and evaluated by the examiners. Examiners who have passed both tests (A, B) can take part in the raw material tests described below.
  • a test mixture (T) to be used in the present invention preferably comprises a substance (M) having an unpleasant odor and a test substance (N) in a sample container (e.g., a glass), but (M) and (N) are preferably not mixed with each other, but (as described above) coexist.
  • a sample (unperfumed and marked as such) with only bad odor (ie a malodor standard mixture) serves as a reference for the examiners.
  • a "non-perfumed sample” is a mixture comprising a substance (M) with an unpleasant odor, but not Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate to be used according to the invention or a corresponding mixture.
  • This sample is defined to a value that may vary depending on the type of bad smell, but is usually at "6”. All samples are preferably presented encoded. As a rule, at least one of the coded samples is empty (filter paper only) or provided with unperfumed bad smell (reference, as described above). This will further control the examiners and the results achieved.
  • Example 2.2 Test against sweat odor
  • Example 2.3 Test against toilet odor
  • Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate to be used according to the invention reduces the unpleasant toilet odor by 72 %.
  • Example 2.4 Test against kitchen odor [00103] From a solution (Substance (M) with an unpleasant odor) whose odor was mimicked by the smell of a commonly used kitchen consisting of fats, various bratwomen and an odorless solvent, 1 pl each was placed on a filter paper. 1 pl each of different substances to be tested (N) was also applied to filter paper and placed in a glass together with the odor sample. The samples were allowed to rest for 15 h. 8-12 examiners evaluated the samples for perfume / fragrance and kitchen odor intensity (malodorous impression). Indicated are the mean values from the individual ratings.
  • Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate to be used according to the invention reduces the unpleasant kitchen odor by 42 %.
  • Example 2.5 Test against smoke odor
  • Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate to be used according to the invention reduces the unpleasant smoke smell by 27.2 %.
  • Example 3 Use in combination with fragrances

  • ISOMUSCONE cyclohexadecanone
  • the mixtures A1, A2, B1 and B2 were also tested in 500 ml wide mouth bottles made of brown glass.
  • a sample (unperfumed and marked as such) with only bad odor (Malodor Standard Mixture (S)) serves as a reference for the examiners. This sample is defined to a value that may vary depending on the type of bad smell, but is usually at "6". All samples are preferably presented encoded.
  • At least one of the coded samples is empty (filter paper only) or provided with unperfumed bad smell (reference). Since complex perfume oils and blends usually have a stronger effect against unpleasant odors than individual chemicals, the blends are preferably tested in a less amount than the individual chemicals. [00112]
  • Example 3.1 Test of the mixtures A1 to B2 (A1, A2, B1, B2) against butyric acid odor
  • the mixture of the perfume oils A2 and B2 according to the invention leads to a particularly strong reduction of the (unpleasant) butyric acid odor.
  • Example 3.2 Test of the mixtures A1 to B2 against sweat odor
  • Example 3.3 Test of the mixtures A1 to B2 against smoke smell
  • the mixture of the perfume oil A2 or B2 according to the invention leads to a greater reduction of the unpleasant smoke odor than that of the perfume oil A1 or B1.
